Psychedelic Light show and rotating diamonds

performance Psychedelic Light show.
With the experimentation with glass colour figures we had the idea to use the painted windowpanes as a picture carrier for highly competitive 1000 watts of figure projection machine.
The special with the slide projection machine is,
the fact that on a sliding carriage an engine is arrested which has a direct absorption for the perfectly circular windowpanes.

Performance in the ateliers. Kinetic metal objects, steel sculptures: "Rotating diamonds - Octahedron" in the light bath the slide machine. Snap-shots. Octahedron, from sheet steel welded, partially ground and varnishes, stored on 12 V of electric motor, swivelling.

The windowpane rotates and the slide moves. Thus the disk is analyzed in all positions.
The stroke and the rotation of the disks are controlled by hand, so that always an involuntary figure sequence is guaranteed.
We can equip the windowpanes now either with transparent foil copies of the paintings and paint from hand with transparent glass spot colours, or paint figures directly on the disk and engrave. A windowpane with the diameter of 30 cm has the property to take up to 140 customary slide format figures.

Partial we have already made Psychedelic the projection disks which show more than 1200 hand-engraved figures in all colour variations then after 40 hours.
Meanwhile we work with two machines which prove a colour spectacle and figure spectacle synchronically or asynchronously.

Light and aura. Colour therapy and Psychedelic Light show.
Light denoteds food for our autonomous nervous system, because the eye takes up the light and colour oscillations. Colours have beside the psychological effect also a physiological effect. Light is a form of energy. It spreads out wave-shaped, like water in the surface of a lake if one throws in a stone.
The beams of light spread out in an empty space in all directions there straight. The light spreads out at a speed of 300,000 km in the second. Beams of light cannot change her direction, they spread out always straight.
In 1900 the theory was represented by German researcher Max Planck that itself light from the tiny, unchangeable energy packages - which he called quanta - composites which are taken up or are delivered.
In 1905 Albert Einstein realised that not only delivery and absorption of the energy of the light occurs in quanta, but the light radiation even a current of single photons is, and called them Photone. The light has a double nature. It behaves like a shaft and also as if it is a corpuscle.
The person as a part of the universe and the earthly matter depends on the given legitimacies of his surroundings and reacts to them. We react not only to what explains to the eye as visible, but also on all invisible.
However, not only the person. The English biologist Dr. Rupert Sheldrake represents the theory that all organic and inorganic matter morphogenetisches, shape-pedagogic sphere has which can be measured. In popular usage this electromagnetic sphere is called with people the aura.

Einstein has proved with the theory of relativity that perceive everything what we observe and analyse, always depends on our individual ground understanding and our specific perception of a respective thing, i.e. that there is no independent objectivity in the most true sense of the computer word. Our observation ability, our perceptive facility, our intelligence, our consciousness, all this depends on our experience and differs from the experience of other people.
Thereby the person in the sphere of activity of the Psychedelic Light show proceeds, will be morphogenetisches field by the aggregation of the photons influenced.

The light and the movement of the light fields allow to dip the viewer into a world in which even the bottom seems to sway.
The name Psychedelic Light show was stamped in the 60s. The first experimental photo projections in appearances of Jimmy Hendrix were called so.

• project Diamachine: The diamachine, with the individual creation possibility of the windowpanes, also offers for the future a wide spectrum of insertion possibilities. Every windowpane can be formed in view of the use.
If the condition is given, we would also work with pleasure with the chromaticization of the windowpanes, in the form of direct exposure. Glass chromaticization. (Future project: Creation of the windowpanes by glass chromaticization.)

Rotary Diamonds - Octahedron
The octahedrons are a result from reflexion experiments with different, made steel bodies. We wanted a voluminous, at the same time not bulky the bodies which reveals on the carat standing, a fragility in the balance and themselves
when kinetic light sculpture capables for our photo projections and installations.
This sounds of course enormously complexed, because easier said:
We built a rotary steel body, multitudinous this
angry light reflects.
First we decided on the Platonic body, the regular polyhedron which we modified then from the square base to a diagonal pyramid butt. Thus incurreded our version of the octahedron, or how often from the audience entitles: Rotary diamond.
If the octahedron is composed by his engine in oscillation,
thus the eye of the viewer and they is deceived by the reflexion effect
Steel sculpture resembles a bright, fluctuating crystal, by them
To project rough deepnesses holographische patterns, or from an own, internal one
Light out, seems to shine.

On Open air - music festivals we achieve a magic space effect by the constellation of the Maya's rune: Universe. The positioning of her
four small octahedrons in from six to seven metres of height around the dance area (on the gigantic loudspeakers, from light illuminated) symbolise four directions and the fifth octahedron which is around a multiple greater than the other octahedrons and stands, in addition, still on a stand in the centre of the dance floor, then symbolises the centre of the universe.

The big octahedron still puts down in his inside
the independent 1000-watt-light which rotates against the rotation direction of the body and
by the diagonal pyramid butt dividing cleft a light fluctuating light zigzag line in the surroundings projects.
The light cone of the big octahedron passes some dozen metres
far. in the darkness, if the octahedrons then her whole one
Beauty unfold, already works from hundreds of metres of distance,
Festival place like a mysterious site with mystic one
Character. Festival visitors already entitled to this sight from a distance: This looks, as if just an extraterrestrial spaceship had landed.
Also in our Indoor light image performances with the diamachine the octahedrons to achieve a complicated scenery.
